I think the minutes of previous management reviews are a must-have.

Updated environmental signs are nice, but they don’t really show management commitment.

Wait, how can they prioritize environmental improvement if they don’t have a solid budget?

I definitely recall that decisions related to continual improvement opportunities are key outputs, but I wonder if we need to include budget allocations too.

I'm a bit uncertain about the significance of updated environmental signs; they seem more like a task than a review output.

I remember practicing with a question about EMS objectives, so I feel confident that the report on performance of EMS objectives should be one of the outputs.

I think the minutes of previous management reviews could be important evidence, but I'm not sure if they count as output.
VE

You're right, Edwin. I'm also leaning towards the decisions related to continual improvement opportunities and the changes to significant environmental aspects as likely management review outputs. Those would demonstrate that the management team is actively reviewing the EMS and making strategic decisions.

I think the changes to the EMS documentation, the prioritization of environmental improvement, and the report on EMS objectives performance are all good indicators of management review outputs. Those seem to align with the typical topics covered in a management review meeting.

I'm a bit unsure about some of the options here. A few of them, like the environmental signs and spill kits, seem more like general environmental management system (EMS) implementation rather than specific outputs of the management review. I'll need to carefully consider which ones are truly reflective of the management review process.

Okay, let's see. The question is asking for six statements that would represent output audit evidence for the management review. I think the key is to focus on the types of information and decisions that would typically come out of a management review meeting.
RE
Rene

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key requirements. The audit is focused on the management review, so I'll need to identify the specific outputs that would be evidence of that.
